Assertiveness
But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” (Matthew 14:27; NLT).
With your help I can advance against a troop, with my God I can scale a wall
(2 Samuel 22:30; NIV).
The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people (Psalm 68:35; NLT).
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
Lord,
Please give me
The courage and confidence I need
To assert my boundaries with others.
Help me to be honest
About my limits,
Limitations,
Opinions,
Emotions,
And choices.
Then I will be myself with everyone –
Speaking the truth in love,
Without suppression,
Anxiety,
Or fear.
I ask this in Jesus’ perfect name,
Amen.
